What Is the Power Source for the Airships?

 

Q:   What are the power sources that will be used in the airlift, that will occur around the end of the century; those that are currently known and, if not, can you tell us something about your perceptions of them?

 

RK:   I am quite convinced that all of the things that we will need for our aircraft, which will float above the surface of the Earth for two weeks and all of the excitement going on down below on Earth, have already been developed. It is just a different application of that technology. I will admit that we do not have a handle yet on all of those developments mainly because of the US government is the one who has accomplished those things and we are not entirely privy to all that yet. But, I believe, in the next five or ten years, that stuff will become quite into the open. Every so often, astronauts, those people who are involved with NASA, let drop a very tantalizing piece of information which, when questioned about later, they will never verify. “I didn’t say that. Something is wrong with your tape.” Meanwhile, we are probing, as best we can, into all of the literature that is available. There is just a lot which is coming out now. The scientific information that is available is so different now than it was twenty-years ago. It is hard to believe that so much—you might call it far-out kind of information—is being available in print: the fantastic things that Tesla came up with. He is the one who invented transmission of power through alternating current. He went far beyond all that sort of thing. As he began to tap into more and more of those, it seems like he had a perception of energy in the Universe that nobody since has had. As people began to dig into it more and more, the scientists are getting excited about some of the things that he was talking about and which, indeed, when they put together some of the experimental equipment and see the kind of things that they do, raises more questions about the nature of the Universe that they were after, which is good, of course. But, it is embarrassing to go to an expert and the expert has to say, “I don’t know” because it is always nice to have things in nice, neat packages. But yet, they are the kinds of exercises that make mankind grow and ??embillus?? us, in the long run. So, we do not have all the answers yet—neither science nor The Stelle Group. Actually I like to think that The Stelle Group scientists are pretty much in tune with what I am sure, somehow, that all the information will come to us in due time. Actually, there is only seven years left before we start construction of those vehicles. We are going to need two-thousand of them.

 

The next question is how do we raise the money for all those? I suspect that the way that we will do that is people who are interested in occupying a seat on one of those, at the proper time, will put forth the money for their portion of that particular vehicle. We plan to use those aircraft for commercial purposes and use them, not necessarily, for carrying passengers but carrying freight into different parts of the world because we think that would be quite economical to operate.
